Ricotta Cheese VS Cottage Cheese...

Hi everyone....just a quick question...
Does anyone know if ricotta cheese acts the same as cottage cheese in the way that cottage cheese is a slow-release protein. A PT client of mine was wondering if she could replace her bedtime cottage cheese meal with a low fat ricotta instead and still get the same slow burning effects?? I have no idea so i thought i would bring the question to you guys!! Thanks for the imput!

You believe correct - ricotta is made (or SHOULD be made) from the whey fraction of milk.

Reps for protein powder, puppies, or anyone who buys me a house.

So does that mean that it is slow release protein like cottage cheese??

(sorry I don't understand the difference!)

nope - just like whey protein powder - it is faster to be digested than casein...

Really - unless you have a dislike for the taste or a medical reason to limit sodium (eg: heart or kidney disease) then a little sodium from cheese is not going to kill you.
